This is going to sound really lame, but do you have any screenshots you can
share? This sounds like a very useful technique, but I don't think my brain
is using Morphic that way. In fact, I don't think my brain is using Morphic
at all!

What are you using for your sketches?
For my project leading job I carry an 3.6 Squeak on a USB stick which

What features do you use for notes? Workspaces for typing? Connectors?
More sketches? Why 3.6? Does it have features that have been removed?
The last one is what I was talking about in my reply to Brenda's post

Thank you for sharing. I have been trying to "study my history" lately, and
am feeling very much like there are all these capabilities out there that I
am definitely NOT taking advantage of! When I read, for example, that "The
original [Augment] system is still in use today by Dr. Engelbart and the
Bootstrap Alliance," I just have to think that we are all suffering from
not maximizing the capabilities of the systems we already have!
Thanks again,
Rob
